Hello! I just received my JetKVM and I'm pretty pleased with it. However, I'm running into a bit of a bothersome issue with regards to keyboard layout. I can't type certain characters like "@" or "#", which in my Spanish keyboard are entered by pressing AltGr + a number key. I just end up typing the number instead of the special character on the receiving end.

This is especially annoying as you need "@" to type e-mails or mention people in many chat clients, which forces me to resort to using Windows' virtual keyboard. JetKVMs' built-in doesn't cut it because, the layout is wrong there too and I can't seem to find a way to change it.

This is my keyboard layout (characters in blue are typed in combination with AltGr)

JetKVM recognises the key combination of AltGr + 2 (to type @), as such:

Unfortunately, JetKVM currently only supports the US keymap.

Issue #30 in progress as PR #116

Doesn't really matter what your "controlling" machine has it's keymap set to, the JetKVM tries to type them on it's US keyboard. We'll hopefully be able to test out the wonderful #116 soon and get this resolved.
